Looking for a Digital Gauges Display

Hi all, I currently have an OOOOOLD Quadzilla Commander Monitor and the new fuel sensor sending units do not work with the old ones...so I'm looking for a new digital gauge setup. I'm not a huge fan of all the gauge pods on the A-pillar so I'm just looking for EGT, Turbo boost, Fuel Pressure, Trans Temp monitoring as my tunes are thru a DP-Tuner selector already. I currently have a 3 pod underdash setup for my WVO needs, so I am really looking for a digital display capable of doing EGT and Fuel pressure since these aren't monitored by any ODBII accessible systems

Thanks for any ideas you may have!

I used the Edge touch-screen in another vehicle and was very happy with it. After a while I completely ignored the dash cluster and only used the Edge as I had everything I needed in one rectangle. Even re-organized the display so that all the inputs were logically grouped (example: EGT next to IAT next to ECT, Speed next to RPM's, boost psi next to fuel psi, etc...). Found it very helpful for troubleshooting as the device could also read and clear DTC's on the fly.

Am about to rehab the 250 and still leaning toward an Edge touch-screen in it. Only thing I can think of that it does not do is the injector buzz test (at least it did not the last time I checked the specs a few years ago).

It still works, but the screen starts flickering shortly after plugging it in and eventually gets so bright/white that u can’t see anything on it.

While the cts2 was working, I loved it. But honestly, I prefer the analog gauges I have under the dash now. I still have the cts2 as it’s a wonderful code reader, but I can’t/don’t use it full time because of the screen issue.
